Take the Name of Jesus with You

1 Take the name of Jesus with you,  
Child of sorrow and of woe;  
It will; joy and comfort give you–  
Take it, then, where'er you go.  

Refrain:  
Precious name, O how sweet!  
Hope of earth and joy of heav'n;  
Precious name, O how sweet!  
Hope of earth and joy of heav'n.  

2 Take the name of Jesus ever,  
As a shield from every snare;  
If temptations round you gather,  
Breathe that holy name in prayer. [Refrain]  

3 O the precious name of Jesus!  
How it thrills our souls with joy,  
When His loving arms receive us  
And His songs our tongues employ! [Refrain]  

4 At the name of Jesus bowing,  
Falling prostrate at His feet;  
King of kings in heav'n we'll crown Him  
When our journey is complete. [Refrain]
